And this is why I must emulate Him: so others will see the difference He makes and desire a relationship with the Father. Jesus did nothing for His own glory; everything was meant to point to the Father. There will come a day when Jesus will be exalted by God the Father, when everyone will recognize the great sacrifice He made and believe that He is the Lord, the risen Son of God. Until that day, I must do whatever I can to share His love, His grace, His truth, His message of salvation. “…every knee shall bow…every tongue confess…” Oh, what a day that will be! Is it coming soon?
